It's truly bizarre; some of the folks I know who are the least sympathetic to people who have problems with drinking or gambling or other addictive behaviors would walk through a wall to get bread.

They simply do not recognize that they are addicted.

Yet over and over we see "schemes" that allow people access to their addictive substance because the people pushing the schemes are also the ones who can't give up their "food drug."

I know it's very common to say, "It's all very well to give up smoking or alcohol because you don't have to smoke or drink. But I have to eat!"

Yes. But you don't have to eat wheat or sugar, do you?

Give them up. I can sit at a table with people eating all kinds of things, and it doesn't bother me.

Because I'm no longer addicted
